Police spokesman Sven Müller asked BILD on Saturday evening: “Six people were arrested. We are investigating assault, resistance and assault against law enforcement officers and breaches of the peace. “
Jürgen Ascherl (57), Deputy State Chairman of the German Police Union, on BILD: “I am appalled by the behavior of our fellow citizens and, above all, by the aggressiveness that the police are countering here. The police only do their job and politicians are responsible for these regulations. “
